Default Plant Identification

It looks much like the pink flowering currant, a variety of red
flowering currant, Ribes sanguineum.
It is not Ribes speciosusm, fuchsia flowered currant, which has tiny
red "bells" that hang down
like tiny fuchsias. Which also has numerous, very viciious thorns/
prickles.

You're right, it is sanguineum not speciosum, I always get them mixed
up. (grumble)
I even have one blooming in my yard
